The queen is happy, which is a great joy.

However, since Xu Chenyun was confirmed to be pregnant with twins by the imperial doctor, the entire palace was depressed, and Xu Chenyun was even more sad every day.

Later generations met twins, thinking that it was a happy event, and there were many onlookers, but in feudal superstition, the singular number is yang, the double number is yin, and the birth of children is also particular.

The ancients did not like twins very much, thinking that the twins were fathers, and in the royal family, they were very evasive, and generally encountered that the concubines gave birth to twins, and the imperial doctor would kill a more fragile secret, and the emperor and the historian would also remain silent.

Because the appearance of twins in the royal family, especially the prince, will affect the succession to the throne, in the period of the primogeniture system, the birth time of the twin children is basically the same, how to choose?

Even if it is decided, the two brothers look so alike, it is difficult to distinguish between people who don't see them often, and the other is very likely to have a ghost in his heart and cause turmoil in the court.

For the smooth succession to the throne and the stability of the country, the best way is to kill one of them, born on the same day, killed on the same day, this is called taking precautions, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth!

This is basically the case in all dynasties, which is why there are no records of twin princes in history.

However, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty did have a pair of twins who survived, and both were named kings, that is, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and Zhu Huabi, the king of Xuanhua, and his younger brother Zhu Huabi, the king of Xuanhua, seem to be the only twins recorded in the official history.

After the "Jing Case", Zhu Huakui, the eighty-year-old king of Chu, was worried about being liquidated by Emperor Tianwu, so he quietly left in anxiety day and night, and his son succeeded the king of Chu and was demoted to the king of the county.

In this case, Queen Xu Chenyun was anxious all day long.

Zhu Cihong comforted her every day, saying that good things come in pairs, so that she doesn't have to care what others say, and she is over!

What if it's a dragon and phoenix fetus!

The dragon and phoenix fetus is auspicious, representing the combination of yin and yang, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the sky is auspicious, and the blessing is full!

However, once a pregnant woman commits a crime, it is difficult to persuade her, so Zhu Cihong had to take Xu Chenyun out of the palace to walk away, so as not to affect the fetus due to her poor mood.

Xu Chenyun also wanted to go to Jiming Temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings.

The emperor and queen went out of the palace for a walk, and when they passed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they saw a large number of onlookers nearby.

Zhu Cihong was curious, and also leaned over to watch the excitement, and happened to see the scene where the guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate drove Han Juren out.

Listening to Han Chengke's crying, Zhu Cihong immediately frowned, he had long been unhappy with the dogs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he also wanted to vigorously rectify the officialdom again, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to do things.

So Zhu Cihong came up, came to Han Chengke's side, and said, "This old brother, have you ever thought about going to the imperial city to sue the emperor?" ”

"Go to the Imperial City to sue the Emperor?"

Han Chengke looked at a young couple in front of him who were dressed plainly but expensively, and was a little surprised.

The people in the capital are playing so big? Can it really be?

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "Yes, you think, now the Metropolitan Procuratorate refuses to accept your case, these officials who are officials protect each other, who can help you?" ”

"Son of Heaven?" Han Chengke blurted out.

Today, the only one who can manage them is the one in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Cihong nodded again and did not make a sound.

The middle-aged woman who had just stepped forward to persuade said: "Xiao Langjun, don't hurt him, although he is a saint today, but he is in the Forbidden City, outside the palace, these things are all in charge of those well-dressed beasts, if he really makes trouble, he can only suffer himself." ”

An old master also said: "Yes, Xiao Langjun, the saint has a lot of daily government affairs, and this kind of thing is not worth mentioning compared to national affairs, so don't bother to be today." ”

However, some people said righteously: "I heard that today is not the most hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and before he ascended the throne, he was known as "beheading the greedy prince and killing the king". ”

Hearing this, Han Juren's spirits perked up, and he said resolutely: "Okay! For the sake of the unjustly killed old mother, I just crashed to death outside the Chengtian Gate, and I also want the Son of Heaven to know about it! ”

He looked at Zhu Cihong and said, "Thank you brother for your advice!" ”

After speaking, Han Chengke tightened the "Great Message" in his arms and went straight to the imperial city.

The people who had gathered also dispersed, and there was a lot of discussion about the matter, and some good people followed behind to watch the whole process.

Xu Chenyun tugged Zhu Cihong's hand and said, "Husband, let's go back?" ”

"Don't you go to Jiming Temple to pray for blessings?" Zhu Cihong said in surprise.

Xu Chenyun chuckled and said: "You led people to the imperial city, but you are not there, this is not what you said about releasing pigeons, Jiming Temple will go another day." ”

Zhu Cihong scratched her nose and said with a smile: "It's still a lady's thoughtfulness!" ”

Xu Chenyun said: "The law does not love the people, there is no way to stand, I support the husband!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction, the rule of law loves the people, not in his heart, but in his deeds, the difficulty of governing the country is not in the governance of goodness, but in the treatment of traitors.

These dog calves stand in the pit and don't, ignoring the law of the country, what use do you want them?

Most of the civil officials left over from the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasty, after several generations of development and edification, have thought about how to fool the emperor and fight for power in a group, but they have no ability to do practical things.

It is very necessary for Zhu Cihong to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, keep purifying, and keep washing, until the civil official group is washed honestly, obedient, afraid of imperial power from the bones, and dare not pretend to be forced in a group.

This incident is the reason for a purge.

As soon as the emperor and queen returned to the palace from Donghua Gate, Wu Zhong received a letter from the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city, and a scholar outside the imperial city was suing the emperor.

Wu Zhong thought for a while and said, "Go and tell the Imperial Forest Army, let the scholar wait first, and then send someone to spread the word if Your Majesty has a will." ”

The emperor's clothes haven't been changed yet, how can it be blamed when the fashion is not in place?

But I heard Zhu Cihong say: "Take him directly to Qianqing Palace." ”

......

The moment Han Chengke stepped into the Forbidden City, he thought he was dreaming.

In the past two or three months, I don't know how many yamen I have complained, but the officials have been delayed again and again, and some of them are not even allowed to enter!

I didn't expect to wait less than two quarters of an hour to enter the legendary Forbidden City so easily!

Damn, I didn't win the imperial examination back then, and I didn't have a chance to enter the palace to test, but I didn't expect the lawsuit to be announced!

Nervous, uncontrollable nervousness, Han Chengke had already made enough mental preparations, but when he stepped into this sacred place, his heart quickly rose to his throat.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for people to sue the emperor, but when it is their turn, they understand the taste.

Nervousness, anticipation, worry, and excitement are mixed together, and Han Chengke can't say which one feels more.

Han Chengke followed the steps of the leading eunuch all the way, bowing his head slightly, and the scholar's arrogance looked vulnerable in front of the power of the emperor.

Along the way, the leading eunuch chattered endlessly about the etiquette that needed to be mastered when facing the saint, which made Han Chengke more and more nervous.

Finally, entering a magnificent palace, the leading eunuch stopped, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the people have brought it." ”
